Interview with Weed, Jacob
Chimney corner is in Indian Harbor and is about a mile and a half from Horseneck Meeting House in a southerly direction. Mr. Theodore Mead is intelligent and obliging, and I think will let you see his grand father's papers, but not one of that Mead family, or ever has been military, or fond of war. Andrew and Richard Mead were of a different family. Mrs. Elizabeth Mead Bloomer of No. 100 Norfolk Street, New York, will know where Mrs. Elizabeth Lyon, widow of Lyon is to be found. I think she [page break] 156 1020 [margin: PARIS] resides at 65 Stanton St, but am not certain. She is a daughter of Jabez Sherwood of the Log-Bridge over the Byram, is about 80 years old, and must know the Revolutionary transactions of her native neighborhood.
Oct. 17th Salman Orser, of Ossining, aged 82: "There were four corners at Twitching during the Revolutionary war formed by the White Plains and Pines Bridge Road and the Bedford and Tarrytown road near the Poor House was a road used before the Revolutionary war. I was born in the house where I now live. The Refugees under the Kipps, Saml. and James, used to come up and sweep off our cattle. Once they took off as many as 200 head of horses and cattle, and about twenty head from this place owned by my father
